a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or similar locations.
12.Do not use this appliance near the steamer or the fryer.
13.Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
14.Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
15.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

17.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
